Thanks for the replies.
I have contacted Raintoday to see if they do a Blackberry version of their app.
Netweather extra, plus the v5 radar does not show any radar images on my phone. I can see all the sliders etc but no map.
To work well on a smartphone you really need a cut down version to save the smartphone doing all the work rendering a very large page.
In an ideal world it would take the GPS info from my phone and display a zoomed in radar image for my location.
I have a weather app that does this but it only gives me the local temp and forecast from the nearest weather station.
edit I would be very willing to pay for a function or app like this.

Are there any plans for rain radar support for mobiles?
It would be great to have a few frames sent out as a loop for UK regions so I could check for rain when I am out and about with my Smartphone.

I have an HTC710 Smartphone.
I need to check the rain radar down to postcode leval before I cycle to work each morning. Is there a quick way of doing this via a link to the Netweather website?
Thanks.
Brett.

I have made a mobile weather page for my Blackberry and have added output from my Meteohub Weather Server , Weather Underground Monthly reports for my Weather Station, my Weather Cam and a Rain Radar loop page from Meteox.com .
There are example images here of how it looks on my mobile Mobile Weather example
This is the actual page Mobile Weather page
The rain radar loop can be seen by clicking on "RAIN RADAR" it seems to work very well on my Blackberry. edit just added a 2nd link so I can see rain from the West or East
You can change what part of the map is displayed by editing the link on your web site eg http://www2.buienrad...597&lon=-0.1935 just change the lat and lon in the link
I have just changed the latitude here to show Northern France http://www2.buienrad...597&lon=-0.1935
Would be great if netweather made a simple radar loop like this available to members.
